Ebba and Macon have made it back to the cinema and the award season releases start to fill the silver screen. This time they talk about Martin Scorsese's latest historical epic, "Killers of the Flower Moon". The film tells the true story of the murders that targeted the Osage people in Oklahoma in the 1920s by white Americans attempting to steal their oil rights. Taking the slow domestic violence as the story's focal point the film is a stunning examination of how colonial violence is perpetuated by way of respectability.

With the beginning of spooky season comes the end of classics season. So, the last movie Ebba and Macon is going to cover before returning to the cinema is a film that does both spooky and classic with angsty grace, gorgeous dissociation and troubled excitement, Richard Kelly's debut feature film, Donnie Darko.

In the absence of good kino in the cinemas, Ebba and Macon explore another classic, Lynne Ramsay's criminally underseen exploration of grief and freedom, "Morvern Callar" starring Samantha Morton. Track this movie down, watch it and then listen to the pod. We need to get the word out about this neglected gem!

This time on Projector Pod, Ebba and Macon don Venitian masks and cloaks and try to memorise the password, Fidelio, and descend into the beautiful nightmare of the torment of bourgeois desire that is Stanley Kubrick's final masterpiece, "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999).

The master of horror and darkness, the director, William Friedkin, has passed away at 87. Back in November, before they had good microphones and thought could they constantly deliver two pods a month to build an audience of patrons, Ebba and Macon recorded an episode on Friedkin's thriller masterpiece, Sorcerer, while both having horrendous colds. Given the sniffles, sneezes and extreme vocal fry, the episode was left unpublished. But in light of Friedkin's passing, it made sense to send this slightly embarrassing audio out in the world as a tribute. Enjoy

This time on Projector Pod Ebba and Macon try to figure out what to make of the collision of two cinematic titans, Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer". Two apparently polar opposite films in terms of themes and aesthetics, released on the same day, it must be of some significance, no?
